An opinionated history of programming languages

Fair, I realised that the difference wasn't that large after I posted.

I'm just so annoyed by Python's (lack of a) packaging system that it makes me prone to hyperbole. It's been frustrating me at work all week, and I suspect that it will be a low-grade annoyance for me in my career for the next few years, as I'm a Data Scientist and hence need to deal with Python a lot.

pip is a packaging system, and it ships out of the box with Python. It may not be the best one around, but there certainly isn't a lack of one.

Does it ensure that packages in the environment are consistent with one another? If not, I'm not sure what it does that curl won't do.

curl won't resolve dependencies.
